Guidelines on hereditary spherocytosis (HS) published in 2004 (Bolton‐Maggs et al, 2004)
are here replaced to reflect changes in current opinion on the surgical management …

The flow cytometric test measures the fluorescence intensity of intact red cells labelled with
the dye eosin‐5‐maleimide, which reacts covalently with Lys‐430 on the first extracellular …

We identified 11 human pedigrees with dominantly inherited hemolytic anemias in both the
hereditary stomatocytosis and spherocytosis classes. Affected individuals in these families …

We present data on a patient of South Asian origin with recessive hereditary spherocytosis
(HS) due to absence of protein 4.2 [4.2 (−) HS]. Protein 4.2 cDNA sequence analysis …

Flow cytometric analysis of eosin‐5‐maleimide (EMA) binding to red cells is a screening test
for the diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis (HS). The present study used chemical …

Human erythrocyte blood group antigens can be broadly divided into carbohydrates and
proteins. The carbohydrate-dependent antigens (eg, ABH, Lewies, Ii, P1, P-related, T and …

Background: Flow cytometric analysis of eosin‐5‐maleimide (EMA)‐labeled red blood cells
(RBCs) has been used as a screening test for the diagnosis of patients with hereditary …

Background The eosin‐5′‐maleimide (EMA) Binding test measures reduced mean
channel fluorescence (MCF) reading of EMA‐labeled red cells (EMA‐RBCs) from patients …

Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thromboctyopenia due to maternal human platelet antigen
(HPA)‐1a antibodies affects primigravidas. Immunization must occur early in pregnancy …

This study shows for the first time that different glycosyltransferase defects in the
biosynthesis of O-linked oligosaccharides give rise to the same GalNAcα-O-Ser/Thr …
